District Councils
District Councils are ULI at the local level. Organized in 52 North American communities and 14 European communities the District Councils serve approximately 30,000 members.

Through District Council sponsored educational forums and events such as trends conferences, Smart Growth programs, and project tours, through community outreach programs, and by providing industry expertise to community leaders, the opportunity to influence local land use policy continues to be the focus and achievement of the District Councils.

In the ULI fashion of offering an unbiased and non-partisan exchange on issues impacting the industry, District Councils provide the avenues for active dialogues between private industry, environmental organizations, and public agencies to help provide solutions to local and regional issues.
History of the District Council Program
From seven regional district councils in 1983 to more than 50 global district councils today, ULI's District Councils have grown and changed dramatically.
